Hades

Honestly it just comes down to a matter of "anything that Death could do to Hades only benefits Hades". Causing any form of collateral damage just ends up with more of a job for Death to do and more expendable cannon fodder for Hades; Hell the guy would probably encourage a fight. Any lasting damage can easily be regenerated from (and probably hilariously mocked as "wow you do your job extremely efficiently. Helps me quite a bit" ). Any deal, Hades would probably treat as a game, or twist it to make sure that as many mortals die as possible as it gives him an excuse to flex his muscles outside of the Underworld. And probably most strongly, Hades' Belly totally nullifies any incoming or outgoing divine presences; the Lightning Chariot was the only thing that broke through that, and those horses are basically made for piercing through things and moving really fast. Hades can just... kind of win by ring out and then appoint someone else to be in charge of making sure people die.

Really, these are just two characters who can't really do anything to each other. Except one would probably derive intense pleasure from restraining and mocking the other until he gave up and has the means to do so, while the other can't do the one thing that his entire existence is built on doing to someone who is, at worst, his divine equal.
